Organics to You - Optimization of Produce Bins

Organics to You (www.organicstoyou.org ) is a produce delivery company that focuses on bringing organic local food from local farms straight to the homes, schools, and businesses of its clients. Each week a Small Bin is created using different varieties of local produce from various farms. Customers receive a bin that contains 12-14 varieties of produce with 2-6 servings of each variety (e.g., 1 melon, 4 apples, 1 head of lettuce, 2 lbs potatoes, etc). Our objective is to optimize the contents of the “Small Bin”. The decision we want to make is how much of each variety do we include in the bin while minimizing capital costs, thus maximizing profits. Constraints will aim to keep each variety within the appropriate servings range in order to ensure a well rounded bin and avoid overloading customers with too much of one thing, i.e. we cannot just give everyone twenty pounds of potatoes as cheap as that might be

Decision Making Model for choosing Voice-Operated Intelligent Speakers for Graduate Students

The recent technological advancements have shed light on some futuristic inventions and possibilities. One of these inventions and technologies has been home automation especially due to the rise of Internet of Things. One of the main areas of advancement in home automation has been Voiceoperated speakers. Given the surprising success of the Amazon Echo -- a smart speaker that responds to your voice commands, plays music, and controls your smart home -- this area has become a vying one. With Google Home entering the arena, complete with the backing of the company\u27s ubiquitous search engine, the Echo\u27s place on top is no longer secure. There are also a lot of new products entering the market with unique features. These criteria would make the decision-making process an arduous one both for producers and the buyers of these products. This project offers some criteria to facilitate the decisionmaking process involving smart, voice activated speakers. The Hierarchical Decision Model (HDM) has been used to establish a model based on perspectives, criteria, and alternatives. Furthermore, with the aim of better demonstrating the practicality of the study, five real voice operated speaker products are evaluated based on the perspectives and criteria weights obtained from the HDM model and scores

Big Data Analytics

In the early 2000s, the proliferation of data volume led organizations’ information technology departments to get in a critical situation in terms of data scalability. This was due to the insufficiency of available hardware connected to storage and CPU in dealing with catapulting data volumes. Technology however, bounced back in the following years thanks to Moore’s law [1] leading to the production of faster, smarter, bigger (In terms of capacity) and cheaper CPUs and storage. These breakthroughs in technology enabled companies to embrace the high data volume to their advantage. At the time, the outcomes of technology could be seen anywhere; cellphones and laptops were inseparable from people, and IT systems were being used in back offices in most companies. The focus on information itself however was minimal before that. Decades after computers had become ubiquitous, the accrued data and speed at which it was being produced led areas such as astronomy and genomics to make use of it and turn those quantitative shifts into qualitative ones by gaining new insights [2]. In the same time-frame, the term “Big Data” was coined. Big Data is now being applied to many areas of human endeavor such as Healthcare, Politics, Retail habits, and advertising among many others
